have a good flight....dont forget you have a dt job to do when you get back!

Well isn't this just awesome or not. On an upside this could be the thing that gets me back into the overall race sitting 483 I thought I was to far back but holding onto a good bunch of trades compared to most I could nearly afford to drop swanny for a couple of weeks and try make up some points that way. Will only do that if realisticly think I am any chance at this time.

"It will coincide with Collingwood's week off after the Round 12 Queen's Birthday engagement with Melbourne at the MCG on June 13.

Given the conventional wisdom that players need to spend 12 days at the altitude camp to achieve the maximum benefits, those travelling would be unlikely to play against Sydney in Sydney on June 25 in Round 14."

good. 1 week is fine. i can deal with that. come back better and stronger.

FFS!!!! F you Swanny!!

[Slap]

this is stupiiid.  Without Swan for two weeks. 


I bet any money pendles will go aswell.. just to piss me off.

Basically everyone has Swanny so its not like your getting screwed or anything

if he played at any other club other than collingwood, it wouldn't be an option to fly to the US for a 'niggle'.  And yeah, big deal. Those without swan gain a distinct advantage. 

It surely will separate the men from the boys.

What a waste of money. Shows you how much Collingwood have to waste, throwing them at crack pot ideas like that one.

[thebrock7]

At least we know he is going. If you read the article there is a possible 5th player that is not named. Swan, Jolly, N. Brown then possibly 2 others L. Brown and.... ? Better not be Krak or Shaw. :(

[Bluke]

Laugh my tits of if it was Pendlebury. That would get a few of you in a spin!

Nah I suspect it will be Johnson

[Prospector_1]

Krak won't go, imo. He'll make $$$ while Swanny's away - assuming it will take more than just the bye. If it was only taking the bye, why not send the whole team?

[Bluke]

Krak wouldnt go, why would they spend the money on a 1st year mature age recruit. It would have to be someone significant to the team.

[Holz]

didak will probably go, soldifying himself as my worse pickup of all time. On a slight plus side if didak doesnt go he is my 8th forward so he should be good cover for swan when they play melbourne

[Fenno]

Krak won't be going because hes not allowed into the USA. So you can 100% rule him out of being one of the players

[elephants]

So swanny will just miss one game? I can handle that but if didak goes too.....
